Care for Lipi, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Khulna
Lipi cannot afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $550.

I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Lipi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lipi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Lipi worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $390
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
